For those that has not seen the movie, it’s based on Rambo taking on the former Burma’s ruling military junta. As expected the Junta’s didn’t like it, however, it’s people did! With many people in Myanmar chanting the movie’s tagline: “Live for nothing, die for something” and some even saying: “This movie could fuel the sentiment of Myanmar people to invite American troops to help save them from the junta” as Reuters shows.
Although the movie has been ban, many has made pirated copies available through out the country. To everyone else around the world it is just another Stallone movie, but to the people in Myanmar it is a hope for change.
